Yoga Paddy

Paddy teaches with deep passion and humor with her ever evolving quest to “unbutton the spine - so it can dance “


Assimilating decades of studies ,initially under “back bend master V Venketesh (Mysore India ) and senior Iyengar and Astanga teachers in both India and Australia.


Later, teachers Diane long, Angela Farmer and John Stirk who had the greatest impact on her teaching.


Paddy revolutionizes free movement in what she calls ‘the spinal revolution’


Using backbends as her thread she brings her insight to students of all levels through playful poses and light hearted language and imagery.


Paddy divides her time mainly between Australia and Thailand . She also teaches intensives and workshops in Cambodia ,Sri Lanka , Malaysia , India., Qatar and occasionally in Europe.
